Today I want to explain you how to install a custom rom for the HTC Sensation , Sensation XE & Sensation 4G.

I have recorded videos, and I am now creating this thread to share my experience with you! If you know my blog, you can also find the How To on my blog

So this thread has to be separated in different sections:

I - How To unlock the bootloader (easy)II - How To Hboot S-Off your Sensation, with hboot 1.27 & 1.29 it works (strange but not difficult)III - How To Install the recovery, 2 different methods (easy or medium)IV - How To perm Root your phone (easy)V - How To install a custom rom on your phone (easy)

X - Any questions?

You can't miss one of this point. You must do it on the order.

I can't be held responsible for anything wrong on your device. I have done that twice and it works for me! If you have some questions, I can try to answer you, but you are responsible if you brick your phone!

- Remove the back from your phone, you must unplug your phone to do that.

If the computer wait for the device, remove the battery then restart your phone and plug it to the computer.

The video is an easier way to see how to do.
You must be patient and have a screen like that on your phone:

And on your computer the cmd command with:

Quote:Do not remove sdcard from phone
Do wire-trick now!! Check the instructions at Unlimited.IO
You must do the wire-trick

Press the cable on the sdcard protection during 0.5sec, release during 1.75sec press again during 0.5sec.

2 possibilities:

It doesn't work:

1 - Your phone do not restart. Try again

2 - Your phone restart, but stay on the same Juopunut Bear screen. You have an Error Code.
Close the cmd command and run the controlbear.exe again

It works:

Your phone restart and you have this two different screens:

- Press Y and enter to accept

You can now see the S-Off on your phone when you restart it on Bootloader mode!

We now have to remove the temp root!

- Restart your phone

- Go to the folder extracted before: Temproot Sensation Windows

- Plug your phone to your computer

- Run the temp_root_remove.bat

Some commands are launched & your phone restart

Your phone is Now S-Off

You can now Flash the recovery!

If you have followed the previous How To, you must, because they are necessary to continue with this one, you must know I have done it twice. Once with the Sensation XE and the over one with the Sensation.

I have succeed to unlock bootloader and SOff twice with the same method. But I haven't been able to flash the recovery on the Sensation with the same method than the one used for the Sensation XE!

So I have to show you 2 different means to do that.

The first one is my favorite because you understand what you do. The second one is easier because you use a tool!
